together and helping each other not only helps each of us <br />individually, but helps the community as a whole become stronger <br />and better. We will use guidance of The Institute for Civility to <br />gain insights on next steps for our community to keep this focus <br />strong and continue to build on it. <br />The training allows for 40-60 participants. This enables <br />good group conversation without the session getting too <br />large to openly communicate. We’ve received interest in <br />participation from commissioners, library staff, and the <br />police department, and this is before opening it to the <br />general community. The cost will be $2,000 - $3,000, <br />depending on number of participants ($50/person). And this <br />covers the travel, lodging, and meals for the presenters. We <br />have reached out to several organizations and requested <br />funding. The library has agreed to partner with us by <br />providing approximately $1,000, as well as the space to <br />hold the training. They are also interested in taking one of <br />the various available civility books and beginning a book <br />club for those interested in learning more and continuing <br />the discussion. We’ve also reached out to Roseville Rotary <br />and are waiting to hear back regarding additional funding. <br />We could cap the training at 40 participants in order to <br />keep the cost at $2000. But we’ve received positive interest <br />in this training and we’d like to open this up to the <br />maximum of 60 participants to maximize our reach. <br />The training was tentatively scheduled for April, as this <br />works for both the library and the Institute for Civility. <br />However, we are now approaching mid-January and the <br />Institute has other requests for that time. If we cannot <br />confirm the training, we will need to let them know so they <br />can book another group. <br />If you have additional questions or would like more information, <br />please feel free to reach out to me via email or phone (651-788- <br />0795). I’m happy to help answer any questions you may have. Any <br />questions I cannot answer, I’d be happy to reach out to Cassandra <br />and have her respond to you. As an additional resource, <br />the Institute for Civility in Government also has a website. Please <br />be assured, they do regularly offer these training session for <br />communities and other groups – it is not strictly for government <br />entities. <br />2 <br /> <br />
